In the winter in Luoyang, because the mountains are surrounded, it seems to be getting wet and colder, and the air conditioner is difficult to emit for a while.

For other yamen, winter is the most painful, but for Zhuyejian under Taifu Temple, it is the most suitable.

The hot air was blown by the air conditioner and immediately neutralized a lot.

Under Taifu Temple, he led the Zhongshang, Zuo Shang, You Shang, weaving and dyeing, and was in charge of the Five Metallurgical Office, Zhuye Supervisor, Zhushi Coin Prison, Mutual Market Prison and other places. It can be said that he is the best at engineering and handicraftsmanship.

However, it was originally the Shaofu Temple who did this job, but the emperor's mind turned around and actually changed his seat to Shaofu and Taifu.

There is nothing else, because Taifu Temple is only one of the nine ministers and belongs to the Shangshu Province. Although it is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, it is difficult for public and private people to do so.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was newly established, and there were too many ills and the rules were chaotic, so the Taifu was not suitable for serving as the emperor's private warehouse. Therefore, the emperor decided to start a new business.

After leaving the Shaofu Superintendent of the Nine Ministers, he was promoted to a temple by the emperor and directly took charge of the emperor's private wealth.

As a result, Shaofu Temple also became the emperor's private money and grain institution together with the Inner Mansion that controls the treasure.

However, Shaofu Temple is a money-making process, while the inner government bureau is a storage process.

Although the responsibilities of Taifu Temple are somewhat marginal, they are somewhat important.

The emperor's harem, carriages, jewelry, curtains, dresses, and even a brick in the palace and chopsticks used by concubines were all made by Taifu Temple themselves.

On this day, the sky was cloudy and the snow on the ground had not melted yet, and Taifu Temple welcomed a big man.

The craftsmen were confused and uneasy.

I saw hundreds of guards surrounded the entire Taifu Temple layer by layer, and even many guards searched themselves and discovered the sharp weapon.

After a while, a carriage drove in with fear from the craftsmen.

The emperor, wearing white fur clothes, stroked his beard and came, and when he saw such a mobilization of troops, he saw all the craftsmen coming out to greet him in short clothes, he couldn't help but say angrily:

"absurd!"

"They are busy with work. They are sweating and are pulled out again. The cold wind is biting. Wouldn't it be a cold wind?"

The Taifu Temple Minister hurriedly became frightened, and then admitted his mistake, which made people feel unbearable.

Li Jia waved her hand and said, "Let everyone go back. Each person will be rewarded with two stale money, and it will be a good lunar month."

The Minister of Taifu Temple and two Shaoqings surrounded the emperor and followed behind, thinking: At most, he scolded him for the sake of public integrity and it would not be hindered.

And if you don't do it, if the emperor is dissatisfied, it will be in great trouble.

Unlike the Ordnance Supervisor, the Zhuye Supervisors in Taifu Temple are rooms with no cooperation.

There is nothing else, skills cannot be passed down.

Even the gilding technique on the palace pillar is a secret treasure that cannot be passed down from outside.

Li Jia did not force these skills that were not related to strategy, but just used for enjoyment, so just save it!

"Can there be any carved papers?"

The emperor asked softly.

"Some!" said the minister of Taifu Temple, "We have also participated in many of the Thirteen Sutras printed by the imperial court before, and there are still boards!"

Li Jia understood that this so-called board is actually a woodblock printing board.

He nodded and followed.

When I arrived at a huge room, I saw the carved papers engraved with fonts, stacked up and piled up and not cherished.

Yes, this is just the emperor's task. If the emperor doesn't need it, it will be abandoned. At worst, it can be remade again. Anyway, it is also the emperor's money.

"The Thirteen Sutras, hundreds of thousands of words, are about tens of thousands of wooden boards the size of a book page, and they are placed in several rooms. If they are used again, they only need to wipe the dust."

Looking at all this, Li Jia asked, "What is the need for a piece of rigidity?"

"Your Majesty, the plate is used to saw the wooden board into a page of written size, mostly of Pear and Jujube wood, and you have to ask a special person to write it. A book of filial piety costs about a thousand guan."

"Qianguan?"

Li Jia nodded, which means that a book of Filial Piety is only five pillars. If it is printed two hundred times, the cost will be recovered and then the profit will be made.

"In other words, the most expensive one is the manual writing?"

"That's right!" said the minister of Taifu Temple, "Even in Luoyang, there are many scholars, and anyone with the best words is a famous scholar. He must ask repeatedly and pay a hundred coins per word before he can start writing."

"Like the Book of Filial Piety, two thousand three hundred and sixty-nine words, write it, which is 200,000 coins and 200 coins."

"In addition, good ink must be applied, about a hundred slabs, and the rest of the wood, engraving, even if the few words are as small as the Book of Filial Piety, it will take three months to print it."

"I heard that the mansion newspaper used copper movable type!"

Li Jia whispered: "You can try it."

"Your Majesty, a copper movable type can be profitable for several years, and last ten years, but compared to carving, there is an unattainable dilemma - a scholar."

The Taifu Temple Minister couldn't help but say, "There are dozens of scholars in the diary, and you can set the movable type at will, but it is difficult to find it in Taifu Temple or other booksellers."

"Where did it come from?"

"The mansion is fame and profit. Although he is a craftsman, the scholars are as happy as he is. However, in bookshops and Taifu Temple, he is actually a craftsman. Anyone who reads the Thirteen Sutras, even if he understands the one sutra, will not come."

Speaking of this, it is a repetition of the old tune, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Scholars farming are to cultivate sentiment and to be craftsmen, which is to destroy their future unless they don’t want to take the imperial examination.

Otherwise, with this criminal record, the future will be ruined.

Therefore, writing is OK, but typography is difficult.

At this time, there were so many scholars who were rich and the family had worked hard to train them. How could they let him do craftsmanship?

It is already good to have 180 scholars in a county.

Unless it is in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But now, it's not the Ming and Qing dynasties...

"Don't waste these, print the Thirteen Sutras for me!"

Li Jia sighed, the technology was mature, but the time was not yet here.

"Your Majesty, how many more copies are printed?"

The Minister of Taifu Temple breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"How many copies? Keep printing it to me!"

Li Jia said softly, with an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart. He said bluntly: "There are four hundred states in the world and one thousand five counties. Then, a complete set of thirteen scriptures will be published for me 150,000 sets, one million and a half million sets--"

"These books are no longer scattered with the county school, but are all scattered with me and scattered among the people."

"One and a half million sets?" Taifu Temple Qing was shocked. It would be impossible to get it without a million chunk of money.

But how could Taifu Temple have so much money?

"Your Majesty, can you sell it?"

"Shaofu will underwrite it!"

Li Jia doesn’t care about Tao. Books are a necessity and cannot be sold for a while. Take your time and it will be sold out sooner or later.

If the book problem is solved, then it will be easier to simplify the threshold for the imperial examination and turn the thirteen classics into the three classics.

The Three Classics of Scholars, the Thirteen Classics of Juren, and the Jinshi Class will be added with Ming Sutra, Ming Dharma, and Ming Sutra.
